User talk:Alex Bakharev/Archive14New article botThanks for your new article bot; it's made the maintenance of the New Zealand new articles list much more efficient, and I manage to make some small improvement to almost every article on the list. I've noticed a couple of time that when I remove an article which isn't NZ-related, it comes back again the next time the bot updates the list. For example, World Ship Society, which I removed in this edit, was readded here. The times I've noticed it happen have been when I've emptied the list completely. I entirely understand that some articles will be miscategorised; I have no problem with that. Is there a method to tag articles so the bot knows someone has considered them but not added them to the suggested list? For example, I could strike them out on the list.-gadfium 07:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC) New article bot for cricket articles?Hello Alex, Your new article bot looks really useful. But I notice all the topics at the moment are geographical. I assume it can handle other types of topics? -- I'm thinking of cricket, specifically. I suppose it would sometimes have to put an article in two categories. For example, a New Zealand cricketer would go in New Zealand and cricket. Anyway, we have an active cricket WikiProject, who I'm sure would be keen to test your bot if you wanted to extend it to cricket articles. Thanks, Stephen Turner (Talk) 11:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC) this fine young gentleman is back in the scene, harassing another editor with 3RR. We took your suggestions and did precisely as you asked, avoiding the gentleman and went back to the article. Apparently, he was not pleased with your decision yesterday, and has stalked Bignole's edits, again misinterpreting Wiki policy. I was trying to avoid it, but I am beginning to think that an AN/I might be the only effective tool that helps Mardavich see the light. This person twisiting the sytem is simply not good Wikipedia contributor material. Can we ban a a user for wiki-stalking and empty complaints?Arcayne 12:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC) WP:College footballI'd like to add Wikipedia:WikiProject College football to your bot. We could have hundreds of new articles created a day and never know it. We have several templates and lists that can be used to help find or figure out what articles we should be notified for. Please let me know what I need to do to get our project onto your bot. Thanks. --MECU≈talk 12:53, 13 March 2007 (UTC) DYK

Transcription issuesHi Alex! I was given your name by User:Ghirlandajo, after we discussed some inadverdent article moves (regarding Russian skiers) by a now blocked user. The false moves (from correct English transcriptions to incorrect Norwegian(!) ones) have gone unnoticed for quite some time. Thus the affected articles have been updated a few times since then, so it also involves quite a bit of manual updating. In short, these are the articles I suspect should be moved (in most cases back to their original names).
I suspect there are a few more. You can have a quick glance at the categories Category:Russian cross-country skiers and Category:Soviet cross-country skiers. If you, as an administrator, could make the needed article moves, I could undertake updating the articles themselves (and associated links).

Thanks, Jwillbur 16:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Bot RussiaHi, Alex! Just wanted to bring your attention to the fact that the bot is finding and posting my little crappy dab pages again (e.g., Zalesovo or Talmenka). I think that started after the point system went into effect. Could you filter them out again, please? I'll probably be creating dozens more in the next few weeks; no reason to pollute the announcement board with those. Thanks!—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC) P.S. Congrats on publicity! :))—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC) Evaluation of the good article searchHi Alex, In order to try to help improve your bot's "good article" search I've looked through the articles created in the six-hour period on March 11 between 18:00 and 00:00. During this period the bot found sixteen good articles. Of these all except Controversies within libertarianism (marked as {{weasel}}), Allsvenskan 2006 (consists almost exclusively of tables), VoiceWeb (not long enough if you don't count the tables), and List of World Aquatics Championships medalists in swimming (women) (it is generally almost impossible to get DYK hooks out of lists) are more or less suitable for DYK. The history of football team articles aren't particularly useful either since they're not really new content since they were all split out of other articles, but I guess there's not really a way to get the bot to recognize such creations. Perhaps you could have the bot also disregard articles with a weasel tag as well as articles, whose titles begin with "List of...". If that's possible, it would also be benificial if the bot would subtract the size of templates and tables in a particular from the total article size but I realize that could be really difficult. Looking through the new articles page I found the following articles, which are suitable for DYK, but were not recognized by the bot because their reference sections had unusual titles: Revolutionary Communist Party of Canada, Operation Dollar Bill, Chess Informant, Robert Clark Corrente, Luana Reyes, Horse transports in the Middle Ages, Henry E. Eccles, and Sherry!. Perhaps you could add those section headings to the list of titles the bot recognizes as reference sections. The bot also disregarded the following articles: Stephen Hart (Primeval), Liénard–Wiechert potential, and Requiem (Ockeghem). I have no idea why. They all look alright, maybe you can figure out how you could get the bot to include similar articles in the future. Thanks again for help, -- Carabinieri 18:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Alex, I'm having a hard time with this person, who has, just today, left the following inflammatory messages about me: [3], [4]. In the past weeks, he has been In fact, an impressive number of his contributions are attacks aimed at me on various talk pages, or untrue and inflammatory claims made about me (all of his many complaints about stalking were dismissed - some because they were initiated by a sockpuppet of the infamous Bonaparte, others were simply not answered to because they repeated the lies). Most of his other contributions are disruptive edits in various articles. He was banned once for posting this type of messages, and recently received this reply to persistent claims he made about me "conspiring" with Khoikhoi - see this (note that he was again at it a quarter of an hour after being notified). Can you please look into it? It is simple, if noisy, trolling, and getting quite tiresome. Dahn 21:26, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Something is going on there, which is a pity, as the article was more or less good after it had been reviewed by numerous users during its nomination for DYK, but now I'd prefer not to interfere for obvious reasons. Colchicum 18:35, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Vlad fedorov 19:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC) Now Vlad adds screenshots of unrelated protests with some blurred text (in Belarus?). Everybody who has ever been to Saint Petersburg can realize it. Channel 5 has very different logo. Colchicum 20:51, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Alex, I'm sorry that I have to ask you again, but Vlad is just spoiling the article. He deletes all the neutral information he feels uncomfortable with and doesn't tolerate any attempts to counter his edits. E.g. Gulyayev is not relevant according to him (despite being chairman of the organizing committee), preceding march with the same title and the same organizers in December 2006 in Moscow is also not relevant, it looks like everything that doesn't represent protesters as hooligans is not relevant. Besides, from what he says it becomes evident that he hasn't even read the External Links section, as he deletes perfectly supported material as unsupported, and his knowledge of the event is too limited and inaccurate (to the extent he has mixed up a picture of some unrelated protest in another former Soviet republic with this event) for him to be a major contributor. Note that previously this article had been contributed to by many different editors and had been based on some consensus. What we have now is pure Vlad's POV-pushing that is very difficult for other contributors to stop. Three edit history pages in one day is too much. Colchicum 14:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it must be on his watchlist. The thing is that all my contributions in the past month must be on his watchlist, because they have been reverted by that user, who ignores the info from the discussion pages only to revert me.

The thing is, the compromise has been found throughout the Azerbaijan-Armenia pages, which is to use third party sources. I have removed all non-third-party sources, and am supported by an independent, third-party editor user:Petri Krohn, whilst users Aivazovsky and others keep on inserting Armenian URLs whilst at the same time removing Turkish and Azerbaijani, and claiming that they do that in the name of NPOV'ing the article! The same user Aivazovsky has been arguing against, and reverting, the fact that the treaty was signed by 5 republics/parties. Only after weeks of deliberations he finally appologized and confirmed that he now took time to research the facts (that is, before he was just arguing for the sake of arguing). Please take a look at the Talk page, and unprotect the page, so that we can revert it to the NPOV version. --adil 06:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

If there's anything you can do to help, I'll be grateful. Please think about whether you'll be able to make it, assuming the arrangements are similar to those Adelaide is adopting (i.e. a block of time with people being fairly free to arrive when it suits them). Some indication on the page of your possible participation would be really helpful. (Alex, I realise you probably can't make this, but this is to show you what I'm telling everyone on the participation list, and in csse you can end up getting their afterall.)

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Newyorkbrad 00:25, 30 March 2007 (UTC) OverprotectionAlex, I think we need to be more careful about protecting articles like Azerbaijan (Iran). IT was protected for several weeks and thee was no talk on the discussion page for two weeks. No disputes were being resolved; it was just being protected unproductively. But when I unprotected it, the same parties who hadn't discussed just when right back to edit warring: the solution here is blocking. They have already demonstrated that protection won't help them resolve things politely, so rather than harming the public by chronically disallowing all editing for weeks at a time, we should instead target the solution for the misbehaving few. Reprotecting at the drop of a hat like that is just encouraging edit warriors to try to revert in case their version is the protected one this time, with no incentive to work together. Remember, page protection is considered harmful. I'm going to warn the edit warriors at Azerbaijan (Iran) that if they make any more reverts, they will be blocked, and then unprotect the article again. Dmcdevit·t 01:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Was this you? Probably not!Hello Alex. I'm guessing that this edit to Calgacus's user page wasn't you, but I thought I'd better check.

While I may not be an experienced uploader to Wikipedia and may not have completely understood what I was supposed to do, I'm glad that a cooler head was able to complete the fair use rationale info that I couldn't (or that Abu Badali just didn't want to accept). I always felt that the photo qualified - that's why I posted it in the first place. What's his friggin' problem, anyway? BassPlyr23 Talk 14:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC) References to Armenian genocideI received a warning from you saying I should discuss before removing References to Armenian genocide without discussion. I am shocked. If you look at Ordu talk, I have discussed it thoroughly for the last 4 months. However, user Khoikhoi has constantly reverted my edits - not reverts mind you but edits where I spent hours and hours on research disproving his claims. He ignores my discussions, and reverts to the POV sources (or no sources at all) over and over without discussing - ok maybe once or twice he discussed something. And now I am the one being warned for not discussing and making reverts? I feel as if Khoikhoi has some "special" untouchable status on Wikipedia and he can whatver he wants. He stalked use Coolcat and reverted all of his edits, and nobody said anything (check his log). He has reverted EVERY single entry I made regarding to Armenian Genocide - and like I said I had provided sources over and over again and discussed my changes. I on the other hand still continue to discuss (thouroghly as I am now) before I make reverts, or at the very least make comments in the edit box. But user Khoikhoi however does not provide such pleasantries most of the time. He also makes reverts where the Armenian genocide claim was originally inserted by an anonymous editor with the IP 70.82.54.38, as in with Ordu here [38] and SebinKarahisar. I don't know if this user is working with other users, who are Armenian, to inject the Armenian Genocide related claims to any Turkish page they can, but here's a Google result [[39]] that returns 1,290 results from Wikipedia that contain the words "Armenian Genocide" and here's one with Khoikhoi included [[40]] which returns 175. But Jewish Holocaust only returns 196 hits from Wikipedia "jewish holocaust" site:en.wikipedia.org. There is Ssomething wrogn with that. His name is also on the logs of 99% of all pages containing the words "armenian genocide". Having said all of that, I have no issues or problems with this user but he obviously is stalking me and is reverting my edits without show cause. He also reports me every chance he gets and I see no reason for me being reported or warned in this case at all. Yes it's a sensistive subject, but that does not make it OK for some people to revert and inject unsourced and inbiased claims all over Turkish pages or wherever they can. that is ridiculous and I hope you are not defending that position. Also, I would like to see where I made any change without commenting or where it wasn't justified. I want him banned for stalking, for one week, as Wikipedia did to me (becasue I reverted 2 of his edits!). Fair is fair. I also want him to explain and discuss HIS reverts and not shift the blame on to me. I also would like to know why HE is on almost every single page where the "Armenian Genocide" claim appears. Is he an historian? I would also like his IP cross referenced with all the anonymous edit's IP numbers. --Oguz1 16:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC) BotHi!

A project for your bot?A big thanks from WikiProject Oregon for having your bot look for new Oregon-related articles. Is is it possible to program your bot to make one pass throuh to look for *old* Oregon-related articles/categories/templates that aren't already tagged with the {{WikiProject Oregon}} tag and its variations? Because I run across these these all the time when I'm checking through the Oregon categories, sitting there being orphaned until someone finally puts them in the appropriate category or stub category. I realize that this would amount to thousands if not tens of thousands of articles. Let me know. I saw a bot go through and do this for California, (though this was for articles that were already in a California-related category) and actually tagging the articles with the project tag, but I think it would be better to have it make a list that we could check manually. Thanks! Katr67 02:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Merzbow and his attacksLook at this please: [50] and [51]. Despite my bringing up legitimate grievances of the article I am attacked as being "easily offended" even they are promoting conspiracy theories like Eurabia by Bat Ye'or as "criticism of Islam" and calling Pat Robertson a "critic" of Islam (he calls Muslims devils and believes Muslims will burn in hell) even though they are clearly bigots. The double standard here is that if Bat Ye'or was promoting a similar conspiracy theory about Jews taking over Europe, she would be labeled a anti-Semite not a "critic" of Judaism. Can you please help there with the bullying or at least raise the issue with other admins if you don't want to look into it? Merzbow's actions in particular are reprehensible with his pasting of "This guy is a Christian, I'm easily offended" all over the place and calling me a troll. I have also reported this to Khoikhoi and Tariq, but I wanted to also let you know in case they were busy. Khorshid 05:44, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
carandbikeforums.comI noticed you removing some linkspam on the Mitsubishi Outlander and Mitsubishi Pajero pages placed there by User:122.164.133.24. Unfortunately, a similar load was dumped by User:122.164.144.84, which I tidied myself. However, I've seen this URL many times over the past year, always added in batches, always by an anonymous IP. Would it be possible to have it added to the spam blacklist?

RussophobiaA comment related to the CfD: the Anti-Russian sentiment may be better if split into two parts - historic and "modern" Russophobia. The historical part could be then expanded - with jingoism, that funny drawing of the armed Russian bear etc. It is quite an interesting topic and deserves more than be a corner of a warzone.

I bring to your attention a recent poll on the request for adminship talk page which demonstrated a clear consensus that I should not be prohibited from voting on Requests for Adminship. I believe that any block predicated on a claim that my voting habits there are disruptive would fail to have consensus support, and the admin responsible for it would likely suffer a severe reputational loss. I urge you to set this idea to the side. Campaigning for it only serves to create drama, and I'm sure you don't want to become known as a drama queen.

As vandalism in itself is a nuiscance on Wikipedia, it is a problem when you don't specify the vandalism so that others have a means to follow up. When you, as an admin, block on the basis of common IP addresses, it would be appropriate and helpful to use the proper vandalism template parameters to inform about which pages allegedly vandalized by this IP, so that this can be dealt with on our end. Thank you for your understanding.
